Thanks Sunday, I took a good look at the site and forwarded it on to my Gospel Doctrine teacher.

Do you use them on people who are fully in favour of the advantages of printers over pens? Would such a person dare to enter your office?

You're an engineer, you should be able to work out a way. For me, I'd do it in the same way that people spray bullets, but using a Nerf gun, calibrated to take pencils. https://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1366&bih=662&q=nerf+gun&oq=nerf+gun&gs_l=img.3..0l10.878.3068.0.6813.8.8.0.0.0.0.279.1121.2-5.5.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..3.5.1117.-7cj274oPCU

pahh! paint, ink, crayons, textas, pencils etc, etcetera - they're all the same

Have you done the spray test yet, whereby you inject the ink into a can and then surreptitiously spray it onto a wall at night? ps From what I know of polygamous arrangements, I'm surprised that you're even asking this question. As the man of the compound, shouldn't gator be making this decision? Perhaps he has given you enough authority to make it yourself?

Do you mean to imply that there is some form of ink that does not come out of a printer? What good would such ink be, what on earth could it be used for?

Here is a link to an investigation carried out by the Australian equivalent of the American National Public Radio into how the whole peer review process can be massively manipulated. Its about a publishing company in India that publishes 700 peer reviewed titles, but apparently many of the academics who the publishing company claims reviews the articles have no idea that their names and reputations are being used in this way. For the record, I have no quarrel with the methodologies of science although I do note that politicians and governments can generally buy whatever scientific opinion they need to support their agendas. http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/backgroundbriefing/predatory-publishers-criticised-unethical-unprincipled-tactics/6656122 See also http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/backgroundbriefing/bogus-society-offers-to-publish-papers-without-peer-review/6653748 If you wish to publish your paper immediately without peer review. We can do it for you.' Background Briefing exposes the predatory practices of an open access publisher that claims to be one of Sydney's leading scientific associations. A scholarly publisher that claims to follow 'world best academic publishing protocol' has agreed to publish an academic paper 'immediately without peer review' in exchange for a $704 fee. The Australian Society for Commerce Industry and Engineering (SCIE) agreed to the arrangement in an email exchange with Background Briefing during an investigation into predatory practices on the fringes of the academic publishing industry. Academic publishing is a multi-million-dollar industry, with big names like Elsevier often accused of charging libraries extortionate fees for access to journals.

The attached article comes from the current online version of New Scientist. I don't fully understand it and I neither endorse or oppose it, I simply add it here because it seems to be highly relevant to this discussion. It makes the claim that life may have appeared many different times on earth. It also claims that the basic building blocks and processes for creating life do not require any fantastic events or unusual inputs, and that the main ingredients can be readily found in even a basic chemistry lab. Interestingly, the article makes a few references to the importance of clay in the creation of life. multiple emergence of life.docx

You're exaggerating again Zil. Much as you like to think of the man of your compound as being big and bold I think this is a more accurate picture

I know this is not the point you are making but this is my initial response to this post: How rude and proud and pointless it is not to approach God. God has nothing better to do, and nothing He wants to do more, than help His children. A god that is more concerned about the stage - the universe - than the actors on the stage - us - seems like a very odd kind of god and one not worthy of my worship.

PC, I'm now concerned for you. I've heard some sad stories about what has happened to some people once they achieve their goal in life.

That's not a bad description of the relationship between the US and Persia up until 1979 and the fall of the Shah.

I'm all in favour of a guarenteed income - for me. Two incomes would be even better. Not so sure if I'm in favour of this for the other guy.

That was specifically for you Zil

Yesterday, in church, I had what I think is a good idea on how to prepare talks. I’m putting it up here on lds.net partly in the hope that it might be of interest to someone else and also in the hope of getting some feedback and comments that might make it even better. I was going to present this in an attached Word document, but then I remembered that some people access this site through their phones and I wasn’t sure if everyone can access a Word document through their phone so I’ve set it out as two lists. The first list could be headed Objectives, and the second list could be called Tools. The objectives list is a list of the objectives or outcomes that the person giving a talk might want to achieve. The tools list is list of the tools or techniques that the person giving the talk might want to use to accomplish their objectives. The basic idea is, when you are assigned to give a talk, look at the objectives list and decide what you want to accomplish with your talk, and then look at the tools list and decide what tools you want to use to accomplish your objective. This process can be applied to each of the various parts of the talk – the introduction, each of the main points, and the conclusion. I suspect that this is what most of us do subconsciously, but I thought it might be helpful to make it more explicit. Prison Chaplain, as one who frequently prepares and delivers sermons, II am particularly hopeful that you might feel inclined to provide some feedback. Objectives Motivate Teach Inspire Call to repent Change/influence attitudes, beliefs or actions Comfort Counsel Rebuke Call to repent Reinforce an idea or point (for conclusion of talk) Build interest and attract the attention of the congregation (for introduction of talk) Tools Personal anecdotes and experiences Scriptures Talks from conference or other sources Expressing opinions, personal viewpoints and conclusions Giving explanations Asking rhetorical questions Giving challenges and invitations to act Reading from Bible Dictionary or Encyclopaedia of Mormonism Tell a joke or funny story Share/express feelings

I would have thought the music you were listening to earlier, particularly the Allegretto sounded more Vortesque than the the Hillbilly Little Joe. Or maybe this. I'm pretty confident that this is what a veritable vortex of vortical vortices sounds like

I thought the music still sounded happy

I'm not sure what you mean by too many desserts. Can there be such a thing? The very idea of too many desserts is something that I'd like to seriously test out to see if it is really possible.

Lol, Just_A_Guy is asking Momongator to tell the truth! How charmingly naive and unrealistically optimistic of him.

Same verse, different emphasis (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 89:10 - 11) 10 And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome herbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man— 11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving. Without this qualification, the WOW would be contradictory because in verse 8 it describes tobacco as a herb and says it is not good for man, whereas in verse 11, without the qualification of 'wholesome" in verse 10 it would say that we can use every herb, of which tobacco is one.

Now who here would like to do the updating? (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 67:5 - 9) Your eyes have been upon my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., and his language you have known, and his imperfections you have known; and you have sought in your hearts knowledge that you might express beyond his language; this you also know. 6 Now, seek ye out of the Book of Commandments, even the least that is among them, and appoint him that is the most wise among you; 7 Or, if there be any among you that shall make one like unto it, then ye are justified in saying that ye do not know that they are true; 8 But if ye cannot make one like unto it, ye are under condemnation if ye do not bear record that they are true. 9 For ye know that there is no unrighteousness in them, and that which is righteous cometh down from above, from the Father of lights.

Morman?

WIth respect Mirkwood, this is a really dumb goal. Why would anyone ever be nice to Gator? New year's resolutions should be realistic

If there was to be an update to the WOW, it might be to clarify whether or not its ok to use medically prescribed marijuana. I suspect there are a variety of opinions and practices amongst members on this question based on differing interpretations of the WOW and some clarification might be helpful.
